Double swords while forcing Vertical Sorcs? Not on our watch.

We’re making sure when you’re offered an Emblem Augment, it’s relevant to what you’re playing.

Triple Class or triple Origin Emblems are tough to build around, so we’re giving our Wanderers a quality-of-life buff that’s sure to keep them cooking with the right ingredients.

Your first 12 Anomaly options don’t repeat, but now you won’t see the same Anomaly multiple times close together while rolling past your first 12 options.

New year, new me, and new Anomalies. Try them out.

We’re removing the chase traits for Sorcerer and Visionary. Building deep vertical comps for these two traits requires fielding the same units over and over, with typically one flexible unit wearing the trait’s Emblem. While we’re happy with our more interesting and dynamic Origin traits being played this way, we want Class traits to be more of a flexible tool to splash in and out of without requiring deep 7+ engagement to be viable. Additionally, the rigidity of these vertical classes makes them prone to threshold balance situations where, much like Sorcerer was for this set, they’re either completely dead as a vertical or very strong.

Experiment Emblem clones are wreaking havoc to boards and LP alike. We’re bringing down their health to better suit their power.

While Lone Hero Lux is a thing of the past, we’re correcting Lux’s ability to behave as self-shielding abilities should. Powder’s about getting that huge explosion off, albeit inconsistently (or devastatingly). Our Powder buff is aimed at improving the reliability of backline Powder without buffing frontline Powder through increasing her Attack Speed to get that cast off faster. To balance this faster cast (and attacks), we’re trimming some AD, cause no 11-year-old is about to join the major sports league (this is real don’t look it up) anytime soon.

Urgot gets a lot from Health-stacking items, Augments, and traits, so we’re trimming some of that health’s effectiveness to keep our lovable garbage disposal on legs disposable himself. Vander’s been the solid, supportive, and reliable frontline for many comps, but even so, something feels inherently cynical about nerfing him—he’s just too lovable.

As the core tank for Warden reroll comps, Scar’s been scarred by his last nerf earlier in the set. We’re patching him up with a small one- and two-star buff to keep him flying high.

If Garen hates magic so much, why is his AP ratio this high⇒ While a decent 4-cost tank, Garen’s struggled to have much impact aside from his Health bar and the Health bars he increases. Twitch has quickly become one of the better 4-cost carries thanks to a buff last patch and a few shifts in the meta. Ten percent fewer sewer skewers for everybody should have this rat in a better place than having to say fewer sewer skewers ten times fast.

6-costs are meant to be incredibly powerful but not something that brings you so much utility that you have an unfair advantage. We’re removing Viktor’s Shred and Sunder (Armor and Magic Resist removal) but slightly increasing his Death Ray damage and cast damage to compensate. Finally, we’re lowering the percent HP scaling to make him less of an inherent tank killer without items.

We’re setting several Augments to be offered at specific stages to ensure the best player experience when they are offered at the most relevant point in the game. Past that, we’re nerfing our best performers and buffing the lowest performers.

We’ve made a pass on our Radiant Items to polish up the ones that haven’t been glowing as brightly as we’d like.

Raising the power floor on our most underperforming Anomalies.

Small, like little Snek.
